These days Shooting Brake is the hottest body style in the car world; kind of like Kim Kardashian’s butt in the real world. So designer and rendering artist X-Tomi decided to try it on a sports car and came up with this Mercedes AMG GT Shooting Brake you see here.
The Shooting Brake conversion is probably the only conversion that always makes sense regardless of what car it is applied to, because it adds practicality to the car in question without ruining its style and prestige. In some cases the SB version is better-looking than the standard car.
But we’re afraid that doesn’t seem to be the case with the Mercedes AMG GT Shooting Brake. The GT already has a curvy behind and this rendering seems to just kind of magnify that, making it a bit fatter at the back. It’s not really a good look. But on the upside, this AMG GT can now carry two sets of golf bags!
